Arriving in Telluride for Brad & Alex’s wedding weekend had us a bit nervous. The forecast was for rain all day on Saturday and the plan was to have everything outside, with reason, because… Telluride. But, you’ll soon see, their Gorrono Ranch Wedding in Telluride turned out to be a beautiful day, and not just because of the weather.
Almost every wedding has a hiccup. It’s just the nature of the beast. For Brad and Alex, it was a power outage right as hair and makeup was set to begin. The entire Mountain Village was in a blackout, which puts a damper on steaming dresses and curling hair. Fortunately, these two brough along their Mercedes Camper Van which had a generator powerful enough to steam the dress. After a little improvising, Alex was out the door and on her way up to the San Sophia Wedding Deck.
The forecasted rain was nowhere in sight as their ceremony got underway at the most beautiful ceremony site in Colorado. One of Brad’s good friends officiated and had everyone laughing and crying at the same time. It could not have been more picture perfect. Shortly after, we made our way down the gondola to the valley floor for a few portraits in the quaint little mountain town.
As the sun began to set, it was back up the mountain we went to Gorrono Ranch for the reception. These two packed everything they could possibly pack into an evening. Their guests will surely never forget Brad & Alex’s Gorrono Ranch Wedding in Telluride. We know we wont. Congrats you two and thanks for having us there to document your big day.
